Objects
Common Objects used by Extensions
ExtObject
| Property |
Type |
Description |
| Url |
string |
(Value: AopUrl) This Object’s unique URL identifier. |
| Type |
string |
(Value: SymbolPath) Type of the Object. |
| Props |
value{} |
(Key: Symbol) List of Properties. |
| States |
value{} |
(Key: Symbol) List of States. Values are either the State values themselves or ExtState objects. |
| Events |

💡All individual Properties of EXT Objects are summarized as Props to separate them from the general Properties such as Url and Type.
💡This definition includes all possible ExtObject Properties. APIs will declare StaticExtObject or ExtObjectSync instead to better indicate which Properties are actually used by the respective function or notification.
Special Props prefixed with “@” are optional and have a special meaning.
